<p>i thought to myself “hey, i’ll read gatsby”
but i happened to forget that nick carraway went to yale in the book. </p>
<p>i then moved on to watching all seasons of my favourite show, gilmore girls.
but forgot that rory went to yale as well. </p>
<p>then i thought “i should read something that has zero literary value and is purely about gossip”. so i reread hes just not that into you. and watched it. and bride wars. and everything was great until i remembered that gossip girl also fell into the no literary value category and started rereading my collection.<br>
but i forgot that blair, serena, and nate all get accepted to yale. </p>
<p>WHY IS YALE SO HARD TO FORGET ABOUT?!?!!??!?!??!?!??!?!??!?</p>
<p>speakmusic14: I totally know where you’re coming from Last year, when I was going through my Harvard obsession phase (which I got over. Not applying this year), I decided that I’d had enough and was going to forget. Then everywhere I went I saw red stuff, Harvard in the news, people getting into Harvard, etc etc.</p>
<p>YSPPRSU: I totally get what you mean. It’s pretty annoying. Come the 15th when a few more decisions are released, FB is prolly going to be flooded all over again and it’s going to be unbearable because the ppl waiting for these results are the super annoying and arrogant type who post 3 boasting statuses within 10mins. Ugh.
[and all this while I expect to get rejected/deferred. bleh… life is funny :D]</p>
<p>^ I know! The number of Yale t-shirts and sweatshirts I’ve seen in the last month is crazyyy! There are even freshmen wearing them…it’s like they’re trying to tease me…</p>
<p>I know a lot of ppl are waiting for my results to come out, but I hate being obnoxious…
Should I change a status to something very neutral like “results are out” and then post a blog entry so that ppl not interested won’t know? Do you guys think it works a little better?</p>
<p>^ MG I sound like I am already expecting a YES from Yale. Not necessarily… Just going over the possibilities~If I got D/R obnoxiousness won’t be a problem anyway.</p>
<p>Ugh I hate it when people wear Yale gear to school, especially those who don’t plan on applying and just wear it just because. And I live in an area where almost nobody goes to top schools. It’s like a slap in the face, knowing how I most likely won’t get in, lol. It’s a very sensitive time of year. Haha.</p>
<p>ughh, I know 3 people in reallife that have applied…one’s my childhood rival-frenemy [grr…of all schools, we BOTH had to apply SCEA yale…] and the other two I met at different summer camps. the latter have been constantly reminding me on fb about d-day…it’s gonna suck if they all get accepted and I have to say I got deferred/rejected :(</p>
<p>So I made two music playlists today. the “rejected” one consists of hard rock, metal and depressing music in which I can drown myself if I’m rejected [lolll]. the “accepted” one contains epic happy stuff. I hope I’m listening to the “accepted” one at this time on tuesday…</p>
<p>I have 1st period on Wednesday with the only other girl in my school who applied SCEA… and I sit next to her.</p>
<p>Last Friday, a girl in my class got into Columbia (I’m not trying to take anything away from her, but we all know its largely b/c of affirmative action - Columbia’s hard to get into!) and spent the entire period bragging about it, and there were two other people who applied and didn’t get in. </p>
<p>Anyway that would suck so bad if the girl I sit next to gets in and I don’t. Uggg</p>
<p>EVERYONE AT MY SCHOOL IS GETTING IN EARLY. we’re like at an 85% acceptance rate. then yale will come. and there will be tears. </p>
<p>but i actually do make myself combust every day. i spent one day rolling around in my hallway telling my history teacher i wanted to become an inchworm. then the other day i told my latin teacher that i was so stressed out and all i did was eat chocolate and that i’d get so pimply and fat i’d have to go to fat camp for really ugly people instead of college. then i decided to visit harvard this weekend so i could tell myself that there were other places in the world that are comparable to yale. </p>
<p>Subfubber: aww. I hope you get in! Heck, I hope everybody gets in Ahh, this forum is beginning to scare me (and I wasn’t the least scared last night ^_^) but there’s something very comforting about waiting it out with fellow anxious people =) I am tired of my friends bragging about their acceptances. I mean, I’m really happy for them, but sometimes it just goes a bit far and no matter how much you love them you want to whack them a little too…
Okay, okay, I’ll be nice :D</p>
<p>working on my 4 remaining apps (I’m appliny go to 10 total) would be more productive, but I can’t seem too. I’m hoping my rejection from yale will motivate me to write better essays for the other schools</p>
<p>no one in my school is getting in…one accepted to upenn, one deferred from swarthmore, one deferred from middlebury, one deferred from columbia, one rejected from stanford</p>
Last year, when I was going through my Harvard obsession phase (which I got over. Not applying this year), I decided that I’d had enough and was going to forget. Then everywhere I went I saw red stuff, Harvard in the news, people getting into Harvard, etc etc.</p>
Heck, I hope everybody gets in
